About Kaona Room
Walk through The Leinster, an Irish pub, find the concealed door, and the room switches to carved tiki mugs, thatch, bamboo lamps and rum shelves glowing green, with a skeleton in a floral shirt propped at the bar. Capacity is capped at around 45, which keeps it close and conversational. The cocktail list covers classic tiki and twists on Painkillers and Zombies, drawn from more than 50 rums, and drinks often land with a flourish of fire, light or dry-ice fog rolling across the table; regulars point first-timers to one called the Bastard. Small plates run to gyoza and grilled octopus. It opens Wednesday and Thursday from six until one, and Friday and Saturday until two. Google shows 4.8 from about 250 reviews, with praise for multilingual, friendly staff, though a couple of recent reviews report waits of half an hour for a first round.
